The behaviour of Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus L.) towards baited creels was studied by
underwater television at three different localities. A typical nocturnal activity pattern was
observed. Most of the individuals approached the creel up current. The general behaviour in the
vicinity of creels and lobster burrows is shortly described. The creels were found to have a fairly low
catch rate, being less than ten per cent of the observed individuals. Catches of Norway lobster by
creels and trawl have distinctly different length distributions. The possible reasons for this are
discussed.
